2017 Trend: Matcha Tea

Posted on February 3rd, 2017

Sorry we’re not sorry coffee!

What if you could get your much-needed caffeine boost, while also beautifying your skin and easing your anxiety? Oh, and boosting your metabolism and brain function. This 2017 wellness trend is not a myth. It’s MATCHA. And it is awesome!

Did you say Match.com?

How is it different?

It all starts way before it reaches your cup. Matcha leaves are steamed (how they stay chock-full of antioxidants), destemmed, air-dried, and then ground into powder. This makes a much more potent brew than your average cup of green tea, which is made from whole leaves steeped in hot water.

How do I make The Matcha?

It’s easy! To make your matcha tea, dissolve a scoop of matcha powder in hot water (like 175 degrees). Now whisk, gently.
